One of my favourite spanking romance authors has a new book out! And it's all about a spanking romance author getting kidnapped and forced to write by a scary-hot Dom!!

*hyperventilates*

Aaaanyway... here's the pretty cover:

And here's the awesome blurb:

Erotic romance novelist Kit Alexander is in a slump. Each new book seems more difficult to complete than the last, and the spark in her writing seems to be gone. But her life is changed forever when she goes on a camping trip to reconnect with her muse and ends up being kidnapped and brought to an isolated cabin by a dedicated fan set on helping her in his own way.

Has David’s wife discovered her inner submissive or she pretending to be somebody else?

This week, we welcome the fabulous Jaye Peaches to the blog to tell us all about her contemporary erotic romance: 'Captivated'.

Welcome Jaye! So, tell us all about 'Captivated'...

Waking up in an unfamiliar bed in a room she doesn’t recognize is disturbing enough, but Anna Hadley becomes truly alarmed when she looks into the mirror and sees the face of another woman staring back at her.

Hey Everyone! This week, I'm welcoming Ashe Barker to the blog to tell us all about the spanking novel 'Her Rogue Viking'.

Hi Ashe! First of all, *nom* at that cover... phew... *fans self*Aaanway... so, tell us a bit about 'Her Rogue Viking'

Though Fiona puts up a brave fight when her village is raided by Vikings, she ends up being carried off over the broad shoulders of Ulfric Freysson, the leader of the Norsemen. The stern, ruggedly handsome warrior quickly makes it clear that she belongs to him now, and her best efforts to escape merely earn Fiona a painful, humiliating switching on her bare bottom.

Well, this is exciting... *drum roll*... I have my first ever guest on this blog!

Please say a warm, friendly hello to Libby Campbell who is here to tell us all about her novel 'Seeing Ronnie': the first book in her Romancing the Coast series.

So Libby, what is 'Seeing Ronnie' all about?

As a social blogger, Ronnie Flynn—aloof, beautiful, cool as a cucumber—is desperate to get to the society event of the year: Simon and Sadie’s engagement party on Seguro Island. No surprise that her name isn’t on the guest list, but as always, Ronnie has a backup plan. A plan that involves the handsome Del Franklin.

As you'll know if you read my blog about consent, I do have a tendency to worry that the kind of porn I write might be misconstrued as glamourising abusive relationships [spoiler alert: it really isn't].

Last night, I took a friend I hadn't seen for a while out for cocktails as my birthday present to her. A few months ago, following a conversation in which she talked about being 'into kink', I had told her about my books and she had gone on to order a copy of The Soldier's Girl. She messaged me when she finished the book to say that she had enjoyed it but, beyond that, we never really discussed it.

Here is an 'in character' write-up of an unbelievably hot F/f scene from summer 2008...

Dear Diary,

I fear I scarcely know what to write – so much has happened in such a
short space of time. In truth, I feel more dreadfully, sinfully wicked
than I have ever felt before in my entire life…

Where to begin? I think I shall start at that moment when Mr
Caruthers (in whose character I have been most grievously deceived) left
me alone in his chambers to await his guest: Madam Rosie. I remember
his expression, for it made me shudder so at the time – he looked
hungry, as if I was something to eat, and I was not sorry when he left
me alone in his drawing room. Still, he left me in total ignorance of my
fate – the cruel, wicked man - and tarried merely to assure me that if
he discovered that I had angered his guest, I would suffer his
displeasure.

I wonder what I will say if anyone starts talking to me, if
anyone asks where I am going.

I decide to say that I am going to visit a friend. They will
never know that this friend is really more of a stranger, that I’ve only met
him once (three days ago), that we’ve been emailing one another for the past
month and that his last email to me was entitled ‘Detention’…

One of my kinky friends advised me to 'embrace the weird' rather than trying to normalise TTWD to myself and, while she's probably right, I find it particularly hard when my vanilla friends ask me for relationship advice.

For example, I never know how to react when a friend reveals (in tones of outrage) that their partner has been looking at porn. I mean, what am I supposed to say? "Oh God, that's awful"?? How could I be so hypocritical? Particularly when I'm well aware that I probably look at more porn than Mr M and Darling Girl combined...

Writing erotica has made me realise that I have way more fetishes than I realised and that one of these is WOMEN GETTING ALL WET IN THE RAIN AND THEIR DRESS STICKING TO THEM.

Catchy, huh?

Seriously, two of my three published novels and my current Work In Progress all have a scene where the heroine gets completely drenched in a sudden downpour, culminating in lots of spanking and/or sex.

Anyway, it really made me think about how I feel about Daddy / girl play.

It took me nearly 8 years of being on the scene before I felt ready to play with this sort of dynamic. For ages, I wouldn't even countenance it, wouldn't even allow myself to think about it. I worried about it being perceived as some kind of creepy Electra complex and/or underage sex thing (even though I knew - objectively - that it was neither of those things).

I'm something of a fan of corner time. Whilst it's not my *favourite* thing, I do enjoy the humiliation... the submission (I mean, it's basically like bondage without the ropes, right?)... the almost literal sense of belittling.

Tuesday, 2 May 2017

So, for instance: they don't know that I have bought them presents or taken them out for dinner with money I've made from writing spanking romances.

They don't know that I met my husband on an online spanking forum. They don't know that we play with other people, or that we're polyamorous (it's quite possible they've never even heard of that word). And they certainly don't know that the nice girl who seems to be around a lot is our girlfriend who we're both crazy in love with.

Basically, you could say the name 'Gracie Malling' at them and they'd just blink at you, like 'I'm sorry - who?'.

No, not that word (although I love that word!): I'm talking about the other F word.

Feminism.

People talk about it a lot. It's a very interesting word. It makes some people very angry* and other people (like me) feel very happy, as it means we can have freedom and jobs and our own money and, y'know, all that good stuff.

Punishment, discipline, non-consent... these are the kinks most likely to bring people to my books. I'm not knocking it: these are three of my kinks as well. The concept of being taken to task by a strong disciplinarian who will hold me down if necessary and dispense justice as he/she sees fit?

Nom.

Fucking sign me up.

However (and it's a really big however), writing non-consent scenarios within the concept of a love story is something I really struggle with. Why? Because - to put it bluntly - I think people who hit other people without their consent are total dicks. Like, complete abusive arseholes. Like seriously, it's not ok.

Captain Thomas Edwards - hero of Claimed By The Captain - is very much a man of action: a spank-first-talk-later kind of guy.

Our heroine, Ellen Makepeace, however, believes that rules are made to be broken.

When fate brings them together, they have barely exchanged more than a few words before the following scene unfolds in the Captain's chamber...

***

He hadn’t expected her to give in easily and so he wasn’t surprised when she attempted to dart past him and get to the door.

“Oh, no, you don’t,” he said, catching
her around the waist with one arm. She let out an incoherent cry of
outrage and tried in vain to wrench herself free. Thomas could feel her
heart pounding against his arm.

Frank positioned her to his liking and,
even through her mounting panic, she loved the feeling of his strong
hands manhandling her naked body. He wasn’t rough but neither was he
entirely gentle and Kathy was reminded of the night they had first met
when he had thrown her up over his shoulder without so much as a
by-your-leave.

Kathy gasped as she felt Frank’s other
leg press up against the back of her thighs, pinning her in place, and
then her whole body went still as she felt the cool smooth wood of the
clothes brush resting on her bare bottom.

Behold: Book Three! (proof that, far from being a fluke, this whole writing spanking novels activity is now *most definitely a thing*)

Upon hearing an air raid siren while enjoying a night out in wartime London, Kathy Phipps does what she has grown accustomed to doing—she ignores it. To her surprise, however, she is promptly tossed over the shoulder of handsome American army officer Frank Davis and carried away from the dance hall moments before it is destroyed by the bombing.
